Man falls ill at rally, Mamata Banerjee stops speech to order medical treatment

She stopped her speech midway and told party workers: “Sprinkle water on his face, make an ambulance ready to rush him to a nearby hospital.” Banerjee waited patiently while he was being attended to.

As the ailing person regained composure and was back on his feet, she directed that he be taken to his residence in an ambulance.

“Such oppressive heat, it is obvious someone could fall sick in such hot and humid conditions. Please ensure he is checked by a doctor,” Banerjee asked health department officials and trauma care personnel present there.

Banerjee then resumed her speech.
